Safari will not display some media content despite Flip4mac loaded

As the subject indicates, Safari will no longer display some media content after installing Flip4mac. Where that media content would normally display all I see is a square with the Quicktime logo in the middle and a question mark in the middle. For example see the Dakar Rally site http://www.raid-live.com/dakar/en/index.shtml#. In my case Safari does not display the Flash content relating to "Premium Offers".
Mozilla displays everything fine though I don't particularly want to move between browsers depending on the on-line content. I'd rather not use Mozilla as in some cases the page appearances aren't as neat as those displayed by Safari.
Is there a way of restoring Safari back to its default settings in order get it to play ball.
Cheers
Chris

Also a possible explanation is Safari cache files. Safari can be quite stubborn about holding on to these and refusing to let go of a cache file for a page, not showing up-dated content. Since the new user account didn't have any cache files Safari displayed the file correctly there, and used a "bad" cache file in your original account. Even clicking reload doesn't necessarily force Safari to take a new look at the page code. Drives me batty sometimes. If that is the problem you can go to the Safari menu item, choose Empty Cache and try again. I'v had instances though where I had to empty the caches and quit and relaunch Safari to get it to display a page properly.
Another thing to do, to make sure something is a Safari specific problem rather than a system problem, is to download Firefox and try it with a funky page. If the page works in Firefox, but not Safari, you know it is Safari being funny and not your system.
My truck was running rough the other day when I moved it to wash it. Was not looking forward to using it to haul stuff the next day, but when I started it then it worked just fine....

Safari will not display pdf files since installing OS 10.8.2

Safari will not display pdf files uner Lion 10.8.2

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Preview.app will not display some PDF files

Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

Safari will not display new domain endings on iPad

Safari will not display new domain endings, instead goes to google, other browsers have no issue with this just safari. My domain per example ends in .photo rather than .com etc.... This is only an issue on the iPad or mobile app of safari.

You need to check that website again, after clearing the cookies from browser. If it still unable to connect with the website having new domain names then message to Safari forum about the problem or inform them via feedback option available in browser. Hopefully they would troubleshoot this problem.

Safari will not display flash sites

safari will not display flash sites? Instead it will show a small box that says "flash" and once you click on it, it then displays the flash site!!
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
I am running .....
Vendor: Oracle Corporation
Version: Java SE 7 Update 25
and
Flash Player: 11.8.800.94

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Safari will not display video content/flash etc on websites ie youtube etc

I am running Panther 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). When trying to access Youtube, Facebook etc Safari does not display video/animation etc and so Safari closes with an error. It will also not play video content on the Apple website. I would also like to know the following if someone could please help; What is the best software to upgrade to ie Tiger? etc ; What is the maximum memory upgrade for my machine and what would I ask for and best place to buy? Any assistance is much appreciated. Kind regards VJR1OK!!

You may find some improved online performance with Panther 10.3.9 with
the last supported Flash and Shockwave players installed (older ones have
to be uninstalled) and though the use of Camino browser since it is up-to-date.
There still will be some limitations; but if you have the correct Flash/Shockwave
players for Panther installed and get Camino, and use it as a default replacement
for that ancient Safari, that would make a difference. Also, it always makes sense
to get more RAM in an older computer since they usually shipped with very little.
In the case of older computers, often the capacity of the hard disk drive was also
a matter of marginalization. A large enough drive to have plenty of free space in
it, after applications and the OS X is installed, so the system can have room for
temporary files and Virtual Memory, then it can run the last supported OS X ok.
An externally enclosed bootable hard drive (FireWire enclosed unit) could be
used to add space or a second system for use when at a desktop, so for the
sake of discussion, the internal drive would not necessarily need replaced to
check out a different operating system that may need more room in a drive.
RAM is an easy fix; and a new browser from Camino.org - plus those players.
Good luck & happy computing!

Safari will not display pages

I recently updated to Mountain Lion on my late 2010 MacBook Air. Today, I attempted to use Safari and I can get no page to display. Safari itself loads, but no pages will load. I use Chrome as my default browser and only pull up Safari occasionally, so I can't say for sure that I have used Safari since the upgrade, however, I probably have.
Today, I was invited to a Go To Meeting online meeting. I opened the page in Chrome and it downloaded the GTM app. I clicked on that and it tried unsuccessfully to download required files from it's server via it's own app. I tried this several times without success and then thought to try the entire process using Safari. That is when I discovered that Safari would not display pages. It acts as if it has no connection to the internet. Safari loads and the progress bar moves a little across the top then it just stops. It never times out or complains; just nothing.
Given that the GTM app looks also like it cannot connect to the internet, I went looking at some of the suspects. My firewall is turned off. My network status comes up clean when I test it. ...and more oddly, Chrome seems to have no problems with any and all pages.
I searched for similar problems with solutions and one recommendation was to boot into safe mode to see if that made a difference. I did that and there was no difference. Since I don't use Safari routinely, it is stock, as delivered.
Any ideas for how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Bill

Win7: Skype update will not display some favorite ...

These non-displaying contacts are stored on my computer. I can find them if I search SKYPE. But they will not display with my contacts.
I wish Microsoft would not "improve" Skype! I have spent hours going around in circles trying to pose this question. I hope somebody in the community has the answer to this problem.

Thanks for your thoughts. Here's what I've learned. The browsers display correctly for the new user after SafeBoot. I removed all startup items, to no avail. Removed all fonts from the new user account, nothing. Removed all fonts from the admin user's library, nothing. Then I removed all fonts from the HD library, and that fixed it for the new user. Now I just have to figure out which one it was.
So in summary, a bad font in the HD library was affecting Safari and Chrome (but not Firefox) in new user accounts, but not in the admin user's account. Nice. D

Safari will not display iframe content

I have a webpage that uses an iframe that I create. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox all display the iframe correctly. On Safari, it is blank. The frame is there but nothing is in it. I can see from Wireshark that the content of the iframe is received but it is not displayed. This occurs on both Mac & Windows..
For example, if I use "“<html><body>CHECK THIS OUT</body></html>” for my iframe code, "CHECK THIS OUT" is displayed in Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox but on Safari it is blank.
Does something special need to be done on Safari to create an iframe that will be displayed that is not needed on other browsers?

Safari and Chrome will not display some pages right for new user account

Not sure this is a Safari issue actually. Behavior is also in Chrome, but not Firefox. If I need to post elsewhere please advise.
24"imac running 10.5.8. 2gb ram, software update run,
Setup a new user account. Machine will have 2 users.
When I login as the new user, in both Safari and Chrome, some pages - google, ebay, amazon, cnn, yahoo, do not display correctly. Mainly empty space, a few graphics all wrong. They do display correctly in Firefox.
I assumed it was the user. So I added a 3rd user. Same behavior. Tried giving the new user admin rights. Same problem.
For the admin account, everything's fine on those pages, both in Safari and Chrome.
It feels like the new user is not getting access to something it needs, but it also feels like more than a font problem. Thanks for any suggestions. Dan

ITunes will not import some .mp4 content, metadata problem?

I have been importing movies and TV shows for years into iTunes so that my disabled son can watch them on his AppleTV but lately I have been having a problem getting some to go into iTunes. This batch is part of season 9 and 10 of Smallville. I imported about half of the two seasons no problem but the other half will not import. I have ripped all my movies and TV episodes off of disks that I own using Handbreak and WinX DVD Ripper for Mac and it has worked just fine for over 1050 movies and 6200 TV episodes and I was able to import all of season 9 and 10 of Smallville into my laptop's iTunes no problem but on my son's iMac no luck. Both computers are running Mac OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6.1(7) and all content is on two 3TB external hard drives. That is two external drives for the laptop and two for the iMac. After burning, content on one external drive is copied to the other computer's external drive and imported to iTunes on that computer. This way I have a backup copy of all my iTunes video content and two completely independent iTunes and AppleTV's. But on my son's computer 16 episodes will not go in. I "command O" like normal but no import bar is noted and no content can be found. I believe that this problem is due to metadata content. I am also have a little trouble getting some TV content to switch from Music or Movie Media Kind to TV Media Kind and I know that this is a metadata problem. Also some of the episodes have been in iTunes before either from the Apple Store or ripped and then deleted for one reason or the other. I therefore believe that there is a file in iTunes that is telling the program that the episodes I now want to import are already in iTunes and therefore should not go in twice. I have tried changing the episode names and importing, no luck and I even edited an episode using MPEG Streamclip, removing some content, and then resaving it under another name, no luck either. Any ideas would be helpful. I know the Media Kind problem has been address before but now I cannot find it so a link to that discussion would also be helpful. Thank you for any help.

I have the same issue here. My daughter has an iPod Touch4 and I have been importing mp4's with no problems up until the last iTunes update. Now I get nothing. No message, not activity, nothing. Either this is a new bug in iTunes or they have now eliminated the import ability.
I am sick and tired of apple and their hand-holding, big-brother coddling. My daughters iPod is the last Apple product we have and now I think it's time to totally part ways with Apple and go all in with Android. We have already converted all our phones from Apple to Android. The Samsung Galaxy Player looks like a great replacement to the iPod.

Safari will not display JPEGs

Ever since I installed the 10.4.6 update when I open safari it will not show any JPEGs... This problem happened immideatley after I did the install. Any web page having jpeg files just show an empty space where ever ther should be a photo. If anyone has any ideas how to fix this problem I would appreciate the help. Now I am forced to use Explorer which still displays jepegs with no problem. Thanks to all

Hi Yang,
Thanks for the responce... I did the reinstall of 10.4.6. When I restarted my PowerBook after the instalation the white finder bar that runs arcoss the top of my display blinks on and off and my desktop will not load up... My dock appears so I was able to open Safari, which now displays JPEGs but how do I get my desktop back?
A very worried, Dave

Preview 8.0 will not display some pdfs.

I review documents that are available as PDF files from my local government. Preview 8.0 (Yosemite 10.10) can not display pdf documents created by the Registry of Deeds (Land Titles) since approximately 2005. As well the Finder previews and icons show all blank pages. The PDF files contain the correct number of pages, they are just totally blank.
I installed Acrobat Reader (version 11.0.09) so I can continue to work, it displays all the documents correctly, but this is the first time in years that I have needed Reader on my Mac. The troublesome files appear as Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4) and Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.7), The documents I need to review might be TIFF or JPEG files that are made available as a PDF, I am waiting for their support department to tell me what format is used for the documents on the server.
Does Preview 8.0 only display something newer that Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4)?

Wunderboy,
Have you heard back from Apple yet? Has it been escalated to Engineering?
I have only recently noticed this problem when trying to look at some bank statements which were downloaded. There is a background that is is fine but like you the other data shows in the Thumbnails and briefly in the preview when the Thumbnail is clicked.
Interestingly if I:
a)     Export as a .pdf the background is ok but there is no other data.
b)     Export... but then choose .pdf the background is ok but there is no other data.
c)     Export... but then choose .jpg all is ok.
b)     If I File / Print but save as a .pdf the background is ok but there is no other data.
c)     Finally if I File / Print to a printer all is ok
So a workaround is to Export .jpg and then Export that (.jpg) file back to .pdf. Sounds like a an Automator script would help!
Regards,
Simon

Safari will not display text

Why does Safari not display the main text section of the following web page? This happens with Safari for Mac and Windows. Obviously the site is done with a MS-compatible design tool. Is there an easy change that I can suggest to the site's webmaster or is there a 'plugin' that can be used by Safari to allow visibility?
http://www.aledo.k12.tx.us/hsb/
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Barry,
It looks like it's just not coded too well: [Validation results from the W3C|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aledo.k12.tx.us%2Fhsb%2F &charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0]
Firefox/Camino are more forgiving for bad code and the sites works with these browsers.
